The Count of Monte Cristo

Genre: Adventure

Age Factor: 16 and above

This one is considered to be a classic by Alexandre Dumas. I tried some books which are considered to be classics and never liked anyone. Some was just horrible to complete or too boring. But, I should say this one is really interesting. Good story and narration. You won't regret after reading it.

Although lot of french names and characters appears all of a sudden, the way the story goes is interesting. After reading it, you'll be in a confusion whether to go with the main character or not!!
